Lab Report Template

*
What question(s) are you trying to answer? * Include any preliminary observations
or background information about the subject

Hypothesis:

* Write a possible solution for the
problem. * Make sure this possible solution is a complete sentence.
*
Make sure the statement is testable, an if-then statement is recommended to illustrate what criteria will support your hypothesis (and what data would no support the hypothesis).

Materials:

* Make a list
of ALL items used in the lab. Alternatively, materials can be included as part of the procedure.

Procedure:

* Write a paragraph
(complete sentences) which explains what you did in the lab as a short summary.
* Add details (step-by-step) of your procedure
in such a way that anyone else could repeat the experiment.

Results
(Data):

* This
section should include any data tables, observations, or additional notes you
make during the lab. * You may attach a separate sheet(s) if necessary.
* All tables, graphs and charts should be labeled appropriately.

Conclusions:

* Accept or
reject your hypothesis. * EXPLAIN why you accepted or rejected your hypothesis
using data from the lab.
* Include a summary of the data - averages, highest,
lowest..etc to help the reader understand your results. Try not to copy your data here, you should summarize and reference KEY information. * List one thing you
learned and describe how it applies to a real-life situation. *Discuss possible
errors that could have occurred in the collection of the data (experimental errors)
